Furuno GP32 manual Alarms, Arrival Alarm, Anchor Watch Alarm, Arrival alarm

6. ALARMS

There are eight alarm conditions which generate both audio and visual alarms: Arrival alarm, Anchor watch alarm, XTE (Cross-Track Error) alarm, Speed alarm, WAAS/DGPS alarm, Time alarm, Trip alarm and Odometer alarm.

When an alarm setting is violated, the buzzer sounds and the name of the offending alarm and the alarm icon appear on the display.

You can silence the buzzer and remove the alarm name indication by pressing any key. The alarm icon remains on the screen until the reason for the alarm is cleared.

In some instances, multiple alarms may have been violated. You can see which alarm(s) is sounding by displaying the message board.

The keying sequence is [MENU] (once or twice), MESSAGE, [ENT]. The message board is discussed in paragraph 8.2 “Displaying the Message Board.”

To disable an alarm, choose OFF as its option, press the [ENT] key and then press the [MENU] key twice.
